Third TACiversary already?
It’s hard to believe that this month I am starting my fourth year of TAC. I have learned so much but most of all I have come to really understand what Tony means by our guitar journey, The process is really an individual journey – no two are alike. I have to remember to focus on my progress and recognize the changes in my playing. The changes come even though some are very slow. I have to stop and acknowledge them and celebrate them as small wins. Celebrating the wins and sharing with the community really bumps the motivation and gives you courage to keep moving.
The most important accomplishment for me this year was being able to play most lessons at full speed (not all yet, but most). When I started I set the speed at .5 and rarely was able to keep up with that. Friday’s chord progressions were never even at .5 speed. I was just happy if I could make all the chords and remember how to play them without looking at the tabs. It took 18 months to make my first clear barre chord.
What i look forward to this year is speeding up my chord changes, welcoming barre chords instead of tolerating them, and learning more TAC songs, especially finger style. I want to be more consistent than last year, more active on the forum, and generally just enjoy my guitar journey and the TAC community.
Thanks Tony for creating one of the only all positive social media forums. The world needs more positive forces like you.
